Juliet's mother has urged her to look upon the handsome Paris has a future husband, but Juliet says, "I'll look to like, if looking liking move: / But no more deep will I endart mine eye / Than your consent gives strength to make it fly" (1.3.97-99). Lady Capulet's speech to Juliet started from the assumption that because Paris is good-looking, Juliet would be attracted to him, but Juliet seems to have her doubts.

The first line of Juliet's reply means, "I'll try to like him, but only if when I look at him this arouses some attraction." "Move" means "cause" or "arouse".

In the next line, to "endart" means to shoot like a dart or arrow. Juliet is saying that she will fix her eye upon Paris because her mother is encouraging her to do so; but, by using the words "no more", she indicates that her only motivation to look at Paris is her mother's encouragement.

This is Juliet's way of saying: "I'll give it a try, but I'll only really go for it if you think I should."

When a guy moves to a table closer to you in the cafeteria but doesn't face you does he like you?

Or maybe not. Perhaps he was positioning himself to get a better look at some other girl. A better sign of his liking you -- or at least being attracted to you -- would be his looking at you and smiling. Other than that, I wouldn't read too much into his seat move.

It sounds like you're referring to a Shakespearean quote from "Romeo and Juliet." This line means that when someone appears attractive, we tend to be attracted to them, even if we weren't looking for that attraction. It highlights the unpredictable and sudden nature of love and desire.

What does Juliet say when Juliet's mother asks her to look at Paris at the party and think about marrying him?

"I'll look to love if looking liking move." This is an example of Shakespeare playing with words. He is punning on "look", meaning both "look forward to" and "see". He is also making a tongue-twister with "looking liking". What she means is "If when I look at Paris it moves me to like him, I'll look forward to love." Shakespeare's is much more elegant, of course.
